Is it true that the photographs depict Ukrainians participating in the shooting of a fake about war victims?

In November 2022, users of social networks shared a collage of four pictures, which allegedly prove that the inhabitants of Ukraine are falsifying reports of victims among the civilians. We checked the reliability of such posts.

Two of the four photographs captured the process of making makeup on a certain girl in a white T -shirt and jeans, in another picture she poses with a girl who applied makeup, in the fourth image “The victim” is already on the ground surrounded by either doctors or the military. The collage has gained great popularity in Telegram, where it was published with signatures like “Photos from the phone of an employee of the Ukrainian Tsipso. So Ukrainian militants are preparing their fakes ”and“ “victims of the” Russian aggression. ” On November 21 and 22, 2022, similar posts appeared, in particular, in the channels Voblya (1.3 million subscribers at the time of writing this analysis), "Observer????"(1.11 million)," "Federation"(806 000),"From the scene"(768 000),"What happened?"(584 000),"Russia ?? Live"(533,000),"Boiling water"(389 000),"News.rf"(354,000),"Russia 2.0"(271 000) and"Ukraine.ru"(185 000). With similar signatures, these four pictures were also posted by users Facebook*, Twitter, "VKontakte" Livejournal and other social networks.

The authors of numerous posts on social networks claim that the source of photographs is the phone of an employee of the Center for Information and Psychological Operations (Russian State And Providious The media regularly accuse this ATU unit of intimidating and “impact on the consciousness” of Russians, as well as the spread of misinformation and propaganda). At the same time, we could not find any publications in which it would be told, for example, about the name of this employee, where and when the pictures were taken and how they were in the public domain. Any large media did not report these photographs (neither Russian, nor Ukrainian, nor world).

How found out The factor from the Georgian project Myth Detector, the photographs that dispersed in November 2022 were actually taken more than six years ago. Our colleagues decided to determine the personality of a red -haired girl who is busy with makeup in the photographs. Using the service Pimeye They found a picture in which the girl is captured with former President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and several more men. This photo was taken during the show of Atlantis, which Passed In Kyiv in November 2020. In the list of artists playing in the picture on IMDB indicated Only four actresses, of which the “heroine” of social networks in November 2022 became Lyudmila Bilel.

Like her colleagues in Atlantis, Biglet - Unprofessional actress. On the Ukrainian page on Facebook indicatedthat the girl’s career is associated with medicine-now she runs the instructor area for tactical medicine in the “Bet Better” fund and the rehabilitation center in Transcarpathia, and previously worked as a paramedic instructor in various state institutions and public organizations. In their social networks, Biglet for many years Publishing Pictures from trainings, where he teaches those who wish the rules for the provision of medical care in the conditions of hostilities or a technogenic disaster.

A photograph that is presented on the collage in the lower left corner, Bigle Published On its Instagram* June 12, 2016 together with Another very similar. In the signatures to both pictures there are hashtags #44Nz and #TCCC_TRAINING. The first of them means the “44th Navalny Center” (44th training center, Bikela’s place of work in 2015-2016), the second is the TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care standard) training. Use In the US Army to provide first aid to the wounded.

The next day, June 13, 2016, the 44th training center on its Facebook page Published A report on the completion of a five -day training under the TCCC standard. During training events, the post said, statists and mannequins were involved. In one of the attached photos depicted The girl, whose hairstyle is like how the hair of the “wounded” in the photo of Bleki is removed. The signature for the picture states that this girl's name is Victoria Tkach - judging by the pictures in her profile, it was with her that Bilel posed for Instagram.

Pictures located in the upper left, right of the upper and left lower corners of the collage obviously depict the process of “creating” the statist to participate in tactical medicine and were made for several tens of minutes or hours. Another photograph depicts Victoria Tkach already lying on the ground surrounded by doctors. Perhaps this scene occurred in 2022? Not at all, this picture is also found in social networks in June 2016-for example, in announcement The training center conducted the 44th training center in late July 2016 in Kyiv.

Our colleagues from Myth Detector contacted Lyudmila Bamnya to take a comment regarding viral photographs. The girl replied that all four pictures were taken in 2016 during training courses in tactical medicine and have nothing to do with the events of 2022. November 25 Biglek Confirmed This is on their Facebook page: “Enemy propagandists stole my photos from the 2016 training from Instagram and issued a IPSO for the successful exposure of the Ukrainian special operation to create staged videos in Kherson. How do you like it, Elon? "

Thus, the pictures that dispersed on social networks in November 2022 have nothing to do with the events of 2022, or to real fighting. These photographs were taken in 2016 during a course on tactical medicine in Ukraine. Neither the girls, nor the Ukrainian media and officials, nor the authors of the photographs tried to give them out of fresh personnel, while large pro-Russian Telegram channels presented them as files allegedly received from the phone of the Ukrainian military.

*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns social networks Facebook and Instagram, an extremist organization, its activities in Russia are prohibited.
